washington's college. everything went to washington's brother lawrence except for a little bit for washington's mother to live on. this was really difficult for washington. they considered doing things like joining the royal navy. he looked at different types of things he could take on. the neighbors to the washington's was a family by the name of fairfax. today we all know fairfax, virginia. the fairfaxes were huge landowners. they got washington to learn about surveying. they gave him a book and started to take him out surveying in virginia. washington was a clever guy. he was a really good budget or. -- budgeter. his budgets are gorgeous. the penmanship, the organization. washington clicks as a surveyor. he starts to learn it, starts to make money, starts to buy land. he gets appointed as a royal surveyor. he is starting to climb. he is starting to make his way out in the world. washington does something that really sets the stage for a number of presidents after him in building wealth. that is washingt

washington listens to knox. they stop and the hammer the chu house a it with infantry they attack it with artillery. the british hold out the house is complete wrecked, but it absolute totally stops the moment of the attack. the british gather themselves, they have time to do it and they counterattack and they drive, the americans back out and they rout. so victory gives way to defeat. it's another loss and it's another opportunity for washington to prevaricate in report to congress. so i think germantown, when you go there and you go through the chu house and you can bullet marks in the outside walls, this this local schist to kind of granite. and you, you know, can see it'd be very tough to overpower the entrenched enemy in that house. and that's what's on the cover of book, correct? it is, yes. it's a painting in 19th century painting of of the attack on the chu house. also, the house is also called clifton. okay. all right. so if we could return to saratoga, i know that of your favorite. i don't know if that

so i'll give you this fact about washington washington's net worth. when he died, he had thought it was probably about $400,000. and after his death, they valued his estate at about $750,000. and this was big news. this like, you know, people want to know and, you know, today we would probably say it was, you know, 400, 500 million based on what he owned because he owned 52,000 acres of land in the us. but washington's was half a percent of 1% of the entire gdp in 1799. so that is a very big number. so i would tell you he was probably our wealthiest, but again, you have to put that caveat on him. jefferson, madison monroe and a number of them because of their slaveholder. but when you think about people who are also the best with money. one of my favorites has been herbert hoover. now we all of herbert hoover from 1928 to 1932. right. and you about him and you're like, oh, bad presidency, hoovervilles, the depression. but were the worst four years of hoover's life. hoover was actually amazing with money and was born in iowa. and by the time he's nine,

elizaveta, hello, how did washington react to the attack?an, indeed, already in the first hour after israel began its operation against iran. timing published a statement by secretary of state marco rubio that washington is not participating on israel's side in the events that are taking place, here is what the secretary of state said, we are not participating in the strikes on iran, our main priority is to protect american forces in the region. israel has told us that they believe the action is necessary for their self-defense, u.s. president donald trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in contact with our regional partners, let me be clear, iran should not target u.s. interests or personnel. in recent weeks, even months, the united states has been actively pursuing, at least attempting to establish some kind of contact with the islamic republic, as recently as sunday another round of talks, indirect talks between washington and tehran has been scheduled, but now for obvious reasons we

elizaveta khramtsova, anton dadykin, elizaveta lokteva, vesti washington, usa.us strike on iran was a new step towards an unpredictable escalation. sergey lavrov gave this assessment of the event of last night in a telephone conversation with his hungarian counterpart peter szijjarta. meanwhile, political scientists are already predicting that trump's decision to attack iran threatens the most serious consequences. evgenia collected the experts' opinions. the policy of double standards in action, nothing less. washington hit iran's nuclear facilities with the so-called bunker buster gpu-57 precision-guided bombs. spirit bombers dropped six or even seven fifteen-ton bombs. but did the us pilots really manage to hit the targets, since some of iran's nuclear facilities are located in rocky formations. they were used against syria several years ago to hit rocky formations in this case, and they proved to be ordinary cruise missiles. that most likely the strikes were still aimed at the entrance, so to seal it, as they say, to deprive the centrifuge, which is located

dmitry melnikov, pavel kostrikov and elena sorvallina, news from washington. well, now urgent news, they quote the statement of the russian foreign ministry in connection with the escalation of the iranian-israeli conflict. so, israel's ongoing attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities in iran are illegal, pushing the world towards a nuclear catastrophe. russia calls on israel immediately stop raids on nuclear installations in iran, which are objects of iaea inspection activities. the lives of iaea inspectors have been put in mortal danger. israel's destructive actions are supported only by those states that are accomplices and act for opportunistic reasons. and also, the west's attempts to manipulate the global nuclear non-proliferation regime to settle political scores with unwanted countries are unacceptable. and let's return to the agenda of the g7 summit, where zelensky, who had hoped to hold talks with trump but did not have time, found himself in a clearly losing situation. however, canada is already rushing to the rescue. it, as it became known, was alrea

washington, d.c.. as you know by now, there is probably no exhibit more important for people to see today and in the coming weeks, particularly given what happened last night and will be occurring over the next several days and weeks, the history that we saw downstairs and up here is not one of the past, it is one that continues to define the jewish people and jewish community and israel in very deep ways. i would like to thank all of the sponsors, both locally and nationally who helped make this happen. as you all know, this is vital for the message to go out. what it does, it gives people a chance to not just live and remember what happened almost 19 months ago now but really, the message of today that the threats, the attacks that occurred on october 7 continues throughout our community. and we will not let that define who we are and nova is about resiliency, recovery, growth and renewal, we cannot forget what happened on those days. so, with that, i encourage you all to not just be here today, but

so martha washington called lady washington lady is typically a title in britain that denotes an actual title like an aristocratic title in the united states. it does not. it was an. so that's where first lady comes from in terms of mothers and, grandmothers, because the time martha washington was in the white house, she was bringing her grandchildren with her, it is seen as an almost essential component to what it means to. be a first lady, because there are in our society we still have a lot of questions about women who don't have children. we are a little uncomfortable with that. and so it's one of the reasons you see a lot of women going into politics after they have had children and raise them to at least somewhat adulthood because they've done the thing that we expect women to do first and it's not to say one shouldn't be a mother. i in no way. again need to denigrate that that part one's life. but it is an expectation we have and so we saw actually saw this in the most recent presidential campaign that kamala harris was criticized for only being a step mother for being a real mot

washington and ron helped in the rest negotiations just recently. paul sort described as constructive a rare flicker of hope, but that progress is being tossed aside as washington has chosen the root of direct military attacks against iran. the question is, how can one get back to diplomacy? one trust is already in ruins, but i think it is 1111. to ask you to return to the pharmacy. because of the vanity in the middle of diplomacy, yvette in the middle of talks with the united states when is right, at least below we talk. and again, be there in the middle of talk. a negotiation video to pens happened only 2 days ago in geneva. when this time i maybe can decide to, to blow it up. so the reading diplomacy but the that but the, but i talked really totally so it was not to get on, but the us to betray diplomacy. the wrong is not wrong here. it almost feels like there's of you. remember, one diplomacy was actually i did speak with gordon ron's nuclear program under the droid comprehensive plan of action. dealing with iran agreed to was swaying it's nucle

it will be the first military parade in washington since george h. w. bush. now, tanks and other equipment are heading to the pentagon, where they will remain until june 14, when they will cross the bridge and enter the national mall here in washington. the parade will feature at least 150 pieces of military equipment, including abrams tanks. 50 military aircraft will fly overhead, and at least 6,600 troops will be involved in the parade. experts fear that the tanks will damage pavement and destroy bridges. they say washington's infrastructure is not designed to handle heavy military equipment. the mayor of d.c. has not directly denied the parade, but she has said that if use tanks, let them come for them. millions of dollars to rebuild roads, with a preliminary price tag of tens of millions of dollars, all at a time when trump and his department of management effectiveness are massively cutting federal agencies, staff and programs to combat waste. meanwhile, protests against trump's military parade are growing, with more than 100 cities across the us already

instead, washington is the one to fade into the darkness. filling up who formed an alliance with the americans didn't much better than the whole nation, who had supported the british, the lenape american alliance, established by the treaty of fort pitt, didn't last for very long within about a year of signing the land op were expressing grievances about the treaty treaty. moreover, patriots claimed that white eyes, the lenape most outspoken american ally, had allegedly died of smallpox. however, white eyes had already had smallpox in the past, and as we learn from pax americana, this week, you can't have smallpox twice. so therefore, the lenape believed that american militiamen who they had supposedly been allied with, had killed white eyes and tried to cover it up using the smallpox story. a lenape delegation visited philadelphia in 1779 to explain its dissatisfaction into the continental congress, but nothing changed. so peaceful relationships between the lenape and the united states collapsed. and not long afterward, many lenape communiti

none of these countries is vocally criticizing washington's decision. but almost all are calling for restraint now, especially in the context of how iran will behave now. europe fears economic risks. iran's proposal parliament to close the strait of armud, a top eu diplomat called it extremely dangerous and not beneficial to anyone. the route is used to transport a fifth of the world's oil, and the united states is counting on china to help convince iran not to close the passage. the european union also wants to avoid the spread of the conflict if force is used in the future, so they are calling on the parties to take the path of diplomacy, because bombs, the head of the french foreign ministry notes, can only delay the development of iran's nuclear potential, but are unlikely to stop it, and the effectiveness of diplomacy reminds us of proven history. in the coming years and decades, if we want to solve this existential problem for israel, the region and ourselves, we will have to negotiate one way or another, within this framework europe has an import

but both congress and george washington believed that the capital of the united states should not beendent on more than one state. a decision was made to build a new city for which washington chose a diamond-shaped site with a side length of 10 miles along the potomok river on the border of the states of maryland and virginia. the city would be named after washington himself, and the district, which would be directly subordinate to congress, would be named after columbia. competition the architect pierre charlanfant will win the competition to develop the general plan for the capital, so first on paper and then in life, it will gradually begin to acquire its silhouettes, the most un-american of american cities. the borochny building, the avenues are wide and, as if according to parisian patterns , radially emanate from rectangular blocks. together with the city plan, charlanfant will propose a project for the president's house in the style of the palaces of the french kings, but george washington did not have such a scope... the competition, therefore, as expected, it was on the pres

, again netanyahu takes advantage of that, he also seeks the assistance of his allies in washington, and there are many, many of them, and that's dangerous, again, when you have irrational policies, irrational people, that leads to a more dangerous situation, it makes people more easy to manipulate, and it increases the chances or likelihood of war, here i would contrast for example between trump and obama, obama, in my... opinion was a much more rational individual, he advocated for the jcpo, he was able to reach an agreement with iran, he took many steps which appeared to be, appeared to be somewhat contradict the warres, if you recall when there was a attack in eastern got in syria, obama was on the verge, he said he would take military action, then he referred it to congress and in the end america abstained from taking any military. against the regime of back then, the point i'm trying to make is that when you have irrational individuals in power, that makes it all the more likely that you're going to have miscalculations and you're going to have war. we saw that with bush jr. an

the president is en route to washington. he's expected to land around 4:00am eastern time and then it will remain to be seen whether he sweeps directly into the situation room at the white house, where he will chair and preside over the meeting of the national security council. which he chairs. the vice-president will be in attendance, along the pete hegseth, the secretary of the defence, the treasury secretary, military advisors and so on, the white house says this is about the situation in the middle east, that's why the president has left the g7 early. you'll remember the white house has said that president trump would not be signing that communique from g7 leaders when it comes to the middle east. we now have that statement and i can bring you some of the key lines we have coming out of it. those g7 leaders, not including donald trump, saying they will affirming their commitment to peace and stability in the middle east. they're reaffirming israel's right to defend itself, saying that civilians must be protected and sayi

german propaganda seems to hint that washington has turned away from ukraine.elensky were actually supposed to meet on the sidelines of the g7 summit, but this meeting never took place. ukraine needs more anti-aircraft missiles for the patriot air defense systems, what their shortage leads to we saw tonight during the russian strikes on kiev, and the fact that trump flew out of the g7 summit and did not hold any talks with zelensky is, of course, a bad omen for ukrainians. the american leader himself allegedly did not even hear about the strikes on kiev and refused to condemn moscow. what is your reaction? to the recent attack on kiev, when was it? the day before, the ships from the black sea launched calibers, another target: warehouses in the southeast... the russians did not only strike kiev, did they? the russians are launching airstrikes on kiev and other ukrainian cities, almost constantly, these strikes have been very intense for a long time, and the russians began to strike at targets in kiev tonight at 10 minutes past midnight, that is, almost immediat
